Firefox 1.5.0.3 released for security update

Anyone using the Firefox browser should be more than happy to hear about a security update to FF that fixes a minor quirk, which could potentially cause Denial of Service. While not a threat in the system compromise sense, it's still nice to know that the fix was rolled out so quickly. If you are using Firefox already, your browser may have let you known about the update. If not, head on over to Mozilla's site and get the 1.5.0.3 release. The problem lies within JavaScipt, and results only in a browser crash, so if you are having an issue with this I definitely suggest you get the update. You can read about the vulnerability itself here.

    It probably was an easy fix to get it there this fast! When they have major ones it's sometimes longer...

    I think of what Microsoft should do with Windows Vista is replace IE with firefox and just throw IE in the garbage.
